If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10376]]></link><description><![CDATA[If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never idealize others.
